MLB The Show has previously always been a PlayStation exclusive. With MLB The Show 21, however, not only will it be released on Xbox as well as on PS4 and PS5, but there will also be cross-platform play on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S.

The game is officially set to release on April 20th, so a slightly later release than the usual cycle of releasing in mid to late March. 2020 was far from an ordinary year though, and with the game being released on both PlayStation and Xbox for the first time ever; I’m sure we can forgive them here for the slightly later release date.

As previously expected, San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. is the cover star for MLB The Show 21, and will grace the cover of both the PlayStation and Xbox editions of the game.

The Standard Edition on current gen consoles will be $59.99 USD/$79.99 CAD/£59.99 GBP/€69.99 EUR MSRP, and on next gen consoles $69.99 USD/$89.99 CAD/£69.99 GBP/€79.99 EUR MSRP.

Instagram user anerdydad appears to have leaked the cover online for MLB The Show 21, featuring San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatís Jr. as the cover star.

As the series is published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, in the past MLB The Show has been a PlayStation exclusive. When the official MLB The Show Twitter account put out a tweet earlier this month stating that MLB The Show 21 news was to be revealed in February, however, this led to major speculation online that this forthcoming announcement could be to confirm that MLB The Show 21 will also be coming to Xbox.

This would be absolutely fantastic news for sports game fans around the world, increasing the potential player base of MLB The Show by millions. And could this also mean that a Nintendo Switch version of the game may be possible in the future? We’ll just have to wait and see on that one…
